The political situation in Latin America has undergone dramatic changes since 2015, when an ebbing of the"pink tide"and rise of the right in several countries occurred, coupled with US support to the right.Flexible political strategies and rightists' political pragmatism are occurring as the continent's middle class expands, coupled with US support to the right. Some conditions that promote the right's revival remain operative, but for the new right regimes, addressing economic vitality, the wellbeing of the poor, corruption, and divisions from within are imminent challenges against which a left resurgence has competitive ground.展开更多

With the support of internal, external and bilateral factors,China and Latin American countries have seen a lot progress in RMB trade settlement, investment, financing, and so on, yet Latin American countries’ willingness to use the RMB is still low, there is an obvious shortage of exchange mechanisms, and currency cooperation between them may face more obstacles as China-US competition intensifies. Under these circumstances, in order to further promote the internationalization of the RMB in Latin America, China should seize the opportunity of Latin America’s participation in the Belt and Road Initiative and their demand for currency diversification, as well as the friction between the US-Latin American relationship, start reducing the shortage of institutional exchange mechanisms, and plan for the RMB internationalization process in Latin America at a strategic level.展开更多

On the surface, this constitution is the fourth revision of the 1976 Constitution. However, due to the wide scope of the revision and the significant content involved, it is essentially a brand new constitution.The new constitution not only reflects major changes in Cuba’s political,economic, social and diplomatic fields over the past 40 years, but also marks the Cuban Communist government’s thinking and planning on the sustainable development of Cuban socialism in the 21 st century so as to ensure that it is irreversible and will not radically change. This revision of the Constitution is the most significant political reform since the victory of the Cuban Revolution in1959 and will lead to a major and far-reaching impact on Cuba’s future development in the fields of politics, economy, society and diplomacy.展开更多
